Storing Bacon
Extension Consumer
specialists at The Penn
sylvania State University
recommend that you buy
only enough bacon for one
week. For peak aroma and
flavor, use bacon within five
to seven days of home
storage. And store it in its
original wrapper in the
refrigerator. Bacon slices
separate easily if you
remove the package from
the refrigerator about five to
ten minutes before using.
You can freeze bacon for
short periods of time, but for
best flavor, long storage in
home freezers isn’t
recommended.
Remove from oven; sprinkle
with Swiss cheese, then with
Parmesan. Bake an ad
ditional 5-7 minutes or until
cheese is melted and slightly
browned.
for a girl under 18 years of
age, or a boy under 13 years.
Winning entries in the
state competition will be
Judged later in the National
Grange contest. Top prize
will be a one-week Caribbean
cruise for two persons.
